Glanz moving magnet cartridges

Dear Banquo, I was glad to hear that Henry agrees with
me about the silence. While I put my question about those
155 lc styli in a conditional form his answer was such that
I don't believe that we agree about what friendship means.
You however made clear to know what friendship means so
I hope that Henry agrees with you. Anyway his argument is
demolished by yours. BTW thanks for the support. The
fact that those styli are available 'here' is something different:
I don't expect such a price from a friend.

Regards,

Thank you Banquo,
In the past I seem to remember that StereoNeedles only accepted payment via direct Bank Transfer...and I was not prepared to pay the bank's fees for this plus have no Buyer's Protection to boot?
I just used your link to buy the 155Lc and they now accept PayPal.....so it's done?!
My dilemma now is......should I send Nikola one of my 155Lc stylus assemblies for being a good friend?......or teach him a lesson for 'begging' and not being prepared himself....to fork out for a NOS one?
Should I?.....shouldn't I?......

the requirements of friendship and justice are different but in this case, Halcro, they seem to coincide? 5 155lc (sic!--you must really like it) styli for you and none for Nikola, if it comes to transpire, seems at once an affront to justice and a failure of that sympathy constitutive of friendship.

On the other hand, Nikola should appreciate that a friend is, as Aristotle noted, 'another self', and thus when you enjoy your 5 (sic!) 155lc's, it is as if he is enjoying it as well--even though he has none.

On a more serious note, I bought my 155lc because of your rave way back when. Are you using it with the signet 3ea or 5ea cart or, I suppose, both? I have both carts so I can try either, but would like your input as to which is preferred. Or is this a case of broccoli vs foie gras?

Dear Banquo, While I am not able to understand the Dutch
preference for silence I do understand their income policy.
To put it short: those who have 'more' pay for those who
have 'less'. This is the same as the 'transfer' of a part
of welth to the less fortunate. I don't believe that this
policy is based on Aristotle because he also wrote some
other 'ethical' prescriptions: 'how should we treat our
slaves'. It is of course possible that he had a friend
among his slaves but this 'onother self' is difficult to imagine as being glad to be slave for the sake of his friend. While Aristotle was the 'father' of logic he was obviously confused about the identity relationship: even the twins are not identical persons. The 'onother self' invention will not do as a quide for the income distribution.
Henry's position reg. this question is the best illustration why the income police can't be based on 'onother self' but must be 'prescribed' by the state.
But more relevant for this thread is this. I own the Signet
9 cl as well as the 7e. The Signet 9cl is the most beautiful cart I have ever seen with a stylus which looks much more impressive than the one of his 'little brother' 7e. So the preference for the 7 x by Henry needs some correction in the sense of the identity question: is the 7 (whatever) with 155cl 'implant' the same object as the sincere one?
We are often seduced by our 'honourable' members to buy the
carts they recommend but without any idea about the implication. Say, one just got the 7 (whatever) for a considerable amount of money and than discovere that he need to add the 155 cl stylus. I have seen one on ebay.com and thought that +/-$240 was for the 'whole cart' but, alas, only the stylus was listed. So my idea was that those 4 by Henry are not only 'abundant' but also second hand...

Regards,

Dear Banquo,
I have one 155Lc on the TK-3Ea and one on the TK-5Ea and one on the TK-7Ea as well as one on the AM-10s (on the Professor's advice).
Whist both the 3 and the 5 are improved with this transplant......the bigger bang I think.....because it is a more refined cartridge anyway.....is the 5.

Now the good news for our Baltic friend......is that he has no requirement for the 155Lc as I don't believe it fits in the TK-7E......only the TK-7Ea?
The Professor will surely correct me if that is not so?
The 'friendship challenge' remains on hold awaiting such confirmation? :~}
